My Entrepreneurship Story
My parents are from Vietnam and they came here after the Vietnam war. My father helped build a boat that traveled to Malaysia and was able to immigrate to the the United States because he fought against North Vietnam with the U.S troops. After a couple of years my mom worked as a nail technician and my dad was a handy man fixing things in people homes in the area. Overtime my parents were able to save enough money and expand their craft to build their own businesses. My mother was able to open up her own nail shop with the help of my extended family and my father pieced together a construction company working for the government building homes. My parents came to America with nothing but with hard work and thinking like an entrepreneur they were able to succeed in their business and provide for themselves and my family.

Hey Peter, that's an awesome story. I really admire both of your parents' work ethics. I think it's really cool that they were able to make a life for themselves in the United States, even though they left Vietnam with nothing. In my story, I also mentioned how my parents are entrepreneurs themselves and that they just recently started up a new toy store in Naples. I can definitely relate to having hard - working parents.

Hi Peter,
ReplyDeleteYour story is really inspiring about how one can start off from something so small and turn it into something big that can then secure raising a family. It shows off that hard work really does pay off and I think your parents have set a very good example of entrepreneurship.
